Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short 1890 article giving instructions for building a simple model loom from household materials to teach children the basic principles of weaving. It uses two pencils as warp beams, a cardboard heddle with slits, and card shuttles, with a book as a weight. It explains warping, raising and lowering the heddle to open the shed, passing the weft, and beating it with a paper-cutter.
